CIL and Planning Obligations
Information and guidance on what we ask from developers in the way of planning contributions (community infrastructure levy and Section 106).
When planning permission is granted we are entitled to ask developers to pay for some of the infrastructure or other needs that their development generates. In general, there are two main mechanisms for doing this:
- Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
- Section 106 Planning Contributions
View details of Section 106 agreements and Community Infrastructure Levy
Torbay Council commenced charging CIL on Thursday 1 June 2017
CIL is a non-negotiable charge on certain types of development. It is charged at different rates dependent on the proposal and its location within Torbay. We are charging CIL for the following development:
- New dwellings
- Larger out-of-town/district centre retail and food and drink developments
The majority of planning applications will require a ‘Planning Application Additional Information Requirement form’ to be submitted, so that we can assess if you need to pay CIL. Those applications which do not need to submit this form are: Householder Applications, Listed Building Consents and Conservation Area consents. Additional Information Requirements Guidance is also available. Further information is available via the Planning Portal.
